Federally mandated school busing may mean that Michael Evans (Ralph Carter) will be shipped to a better school on the other side of town. Michael's parents, James (John Amos) and Florida (Esther Rolle), are delighted by this turn of events. But natural-born rebel Michael is outraged, and he isn't above committing forgery to prevent his being uprooted to a different neighborhood. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
